Streaming the Inauguration In a School?

Posted by timothy on from the coronation-will-be-televised dept.

Anonymous Teacher writes "I work in a small school in Washington and we are trying to prepare a way to watch the inauguration in 20 classrooms over a 1.5 T1. As our bandwidth severely limits the ability to individually stream to these rooms, is there an alternative to presenting it to the students? Are there any sites that offer a downloadable copy of the video quickly after the event that can be hosted locally or is reconfiguring the computers to use a proxy server the best solution?"

    My piddly little high school reeled a projector tv into the cafeteria when the first space shuttle crashed in `84.

    I'd be very surprised if it isn't going to be on ALL the major TV networks. Use the right tool.

    If you have the tech and resources why not use it to its somewhat full potential. VLC will do a multicast broadcast. Just use that if your network can support it.
